Explore the craft of memoir and first-person narratives in this day-long writing workshop open to all levels. Through discussions, observation exercises, and writing prompts, we will explore the ways in which family, food, and place can be catalysts for unlocking our memories and uncovering our stories. There will be plenty of time for writing. Ava will also share her perspective on the writing life.<\/p>\n
